Nintendo Will Continue Supporting 3DS Alongside The Switch

Once it is activated, subscribers will be able to access online multiplayer modes, the voice chat app and online lobby, free downloads of games each month, and exclusive deals from Nintendo.

The head of Nintendo has said he wants to support the Switch for much longer than the usual five or six-year console life. Everyone from "game fans to family gamers" will be included in Nintendo's slate of upcoming releases, which names a new Yoshi title alongside the self-assembly Nintendo Labo and action game Bayonetta 2. To date, more than 14 million Switch units have been sold.

As you might imagine, the success of the Switch has translated into a ton of cash for Nintendo.

There's even rumours that Nintendo might be ready to play with the winning formula when the latest Pocket Monsters do finally hit the Switch.

Its been a year since the launch of the #Nintendo Switch and its #Online Service remains incomplete.

The exceedingly popular Nintendo Switch has far surpassed the company's original forecast, and since March a year ago has reportedly sold 15 million units. The console/hybrid has overtaken the lifetime sales of it's predecessor, Wii U.

Nintendo has yet to announce anything about the games coming out in the second half of the year, so we don't know anything for sure. For a monthly fee of £3.99 or £19.99 a year, you'll get access to the same online play you've been having for free since launch along with a smattering of other features - some of which are still unconfirmed. Another difference is that the former two offer a few games a month, while Nintendo is said to offer the entire classic games' vault, and might also be offering discounts for newer games in addition to in-game benefits and bonuses.
